    2021-06-23 Security Camera Saga Part 2: Testing 🎥

    To recap, I’ve been tasked with selecting a new security camera system for our household and previously did a deep dive into the analysis of it all. Part 1 ended with Jim and I discussing the systems that landed at the top of our list and pulling the trigger on purchasing not 1 but 2…

    2021-06-17 Security Camera Saga Part 1: The Analysis 🧐✅✅✅

    A few days ago I posted a teaser that I was documenting my analysis of potential security cameras for our household and that it would be coming soon. And here it is!… Part 1: The Analysis.  In that post I called the exploration into options for security cameras a “dragon cave.” It’s like a rabbit…

    2021-06-12 The Security Camera Saga: A Prequel 🎥

    A prequel? Hmmmm… This is new.  The briefest definition of “prequel” that I have found is a story or movie containing events that precede those of an existing work. And for sure I began writing this blog post several days ago with the intent to get into the weeds of the analysis I was doing…

    2021-06-07 Reactive 🩸

    “Reactive” is the result of the COVID antibody test performed by the Red Cross from my latest blood donation. It’s now standard for them to do the test on every donation. The explanation for my reactive result is that I have antibodies consistent with a person who has had the COVID vaccine, but did not…

    2021-06-05 Cliches About Time are Cliche Because of Their Truth

    The push and pull of all these days blurs into a gravity that begs to be let go of. Time is relative. Emotions are relative. Thoughts are relative. The next thing can only be measured against the last and the moment in time that lingers longer than it should, repeating itself in the mind, becomes…

    2021-06-03 Coming to a Few Conclusions

    I’ve tried a few times so far this week to write something. It’s just not there, you know, and I’m not inclined to fight it.  The rest of our KC road trip came and went and I began to write about that, but got distracted by life and stuff needing attention.  I’ve wanted to write…

    2021-05-29 KC Road Trip Part 1: It’s All Going to Be OK

    This is new. My daughter is having her first “friend” road trip/weekend and I’m backseat chaperoning and trying not to backseat drive. She drives like a teenager—too fast, following too close, and extremely irritated when I offer pointers. I’ve seen what she calls her most social finger waving to me from the driver’s seat at…

    2021-05-27 The Elephant in my Heart

    After a time.. feel as though my hiding from the world at large is exhausting. Maybe I’m just exhausted from lack of sleep. No matter how productive I am, it’s not productive enough.  Still..  was looking forward to today when I woke up. Despite the dishes piling up, clumps in the litter box piling up,…
